Paper Mario 64: List of Possible Time Savers and Skips

Potential Time Savers and Skips - Provided by R0bD0g with minor edits by movMarioPaper

A big list of minor time-savers or interesting things that you could do that we can't do that could possibly exist.
I'm not saying any of this is useful, remotely possible, or faster. Just it's stuff we can't skip right now that a clip or something might let us do.


Early Game
2. Skip the Hammer block after Jr. Troopa's playground (Part 1 of 3 skipping hammer for no reason)
3. Skip the Hammer block in Goomba Village (Part 2 of 3 skipping hammer and most certainly losing time doing it)
4. Skip hitting the switch to activate the Goomba Fortress
4. Skip hitting the tree with the hammer to get the switch on the way to Koopa Village (part 3 of 3 hammer skip, but at least this would skip a short cutscene)
5. Non-TAS Kooper Skip
6. Reach the back entrance of Koopa Bros Fortress early
7. Fortress Key Skip for All Cards and not just Any%
8. More All-Cards fortress skips like skipping lowering some of the stairs and skipping fighting the Cannons
9. Stop finding Re-Fight Goomba Kings, original is the best >:-(

Chapter 2
11. A way to reach the Ruin's loading zone w/o having the ruins be raised (Kooper Super Jump would work if you could get OoB)
12. Ruins stones without hammer upgrade and/or fighting the chomps. (Some of the chomps might be skippable with LZS already).
13. Super Hammer w/o Ultra Hammer or solving the puzzle
14. Slow Go w/o solving the puzzle (Lakilester can maybe help if you route it right, so it could useful in 100% categories if they ever come back into existence).
15. Artifact w/o Hammer upgrade
16. In the ruins, loading zones exist behind all the locked doors. Ways to reach those w/o needing the keys.
17. There are some rooms in the ruins that are linked with the rooms below, perhaps a way to clip out and get down, like I did with the ruins stones skip (which doesn't actually work to beat the chapter :/).
18. There's a couple gaps that you sometimes have to fill with sand, so a way to skip needing the sand. There's a key down one of the gaps that maybe you could somehow get to without having to hit the switch idk. Lots of minor stuff could be possible in the ruins, I guess. Lakilester could make be useful for some of it, maybe in 100% or a bingo or something.
18.1. Parakarryless Seed 5.0
18.2. Parakarryless Seed 6.0
18.3. Parakarryless Seed 7.0
18.4. Parakarryless Seed 8.0
18.5. Parakarryless Seed 9.0
18.6. Parakarryless Seed 10.0
18.7. More Parakarryless Seeds

Chapter 3
19. A way to clip directly to Bow. (Already doable if you enter the mansion while triggered past ch. 3 and lure one of the boos to the wall)
20. A way to clip directly to Boo's Portrait
21. A clip in Tubba's Mansion to get up to higher floors, preferably without needing a boots upgrade.

Chapter 4
22. Skip needing Bow to get Dictionary / Starpiece (if Lakilester is needed it's not particularly useful)

Chapter 6
26. I just wanted to say, of course there's potential for minor timesavers everywhere, like, an OoB on the hedge maze screen might save some seconds.
27. Non-TAS-only Sushie skip for All Cards (part 1 of 2 Sushie Skip in... freakin' no WW)

--- Insert Lakilester Here ---
28. Reach the machine without Boot Upgrade (useful in... freakin' no WW, to skip leaving and getting the boots)

Sewers
29. Enter the sewers after BHS w/o Bombette (part 1 of ?? of skipping Bombette, but at least it would be interesting)
30. Get to shortcut pipes without Hammer Upgrade (this would allow you to do part of the faster Ch 2 route if Ultra Boots skip doesn't pan out, for one thing)
31. Reach lower floors without BHS or Boots (not really sure how this would be useful)

Chapter 7
32. Reverse Mirror Clip
33. Many possible minor timesavers in the palace? including clipping the mirror in more places or clipping down into floors below and such.
34. Skip needing a boot upgrade to get out of chapter 7 (part of ultra boots skip in any%, but not sure if you'd want to)

Chapter 8
35. A way to clip directly to the flood room key.

Toad Town
36. TOAD TOWN SUSHIE GLITCH
